Would have appreciated a trigger warning with this post. Since Carl Kassl announced his retirement from WWDTM I can't deal.

Oh my goodness. That little guy at the end. I cannot.

I like how she was playing angry birds the whole time too.

wow

Agreed. What bothers me about this article is the idea that the racism behind these jokes is what makes them bad, while the size-shaming itself is OK. Look at the opening sentences, where she talks about how these jokes are unfair to Asian men and those who date them, but there's no mention about how they are unfair…

Not to derail here, because obviously the stereotype of Asian men is pervasive and damaging, but I really wish we could stop making jokes and judgments about men based on penis size, period. Mocking people based on their bodies is gross, and we shouldn't be doing it (using "we" here because it's something Jez and…

No, that is actually NOT what happened.

Yawn.

Hi there. Atheist and future parent here — religion has no place in my child's classroom. It's a HORRIBLE idea. Not only are philosophies tied to English and history taught in those classes, but if you can't teach the more than 5,000 religions practiced in the world, then at least one child will get singled out.

Comsidering the fact that I am a Black woman who was enrolled in a white school and yet learned about the Moors, the main African kingdoms up until approximately the time of Portuguese/Dutch invasion, the more disgusting parts of American chattel slavery (such as the killing of enslaved children by their own parents…

Okay, let me say this slowly and clearly.

No thanks you, I don't see why people can't keep their religion at home. Why should Atheist people have to endue that shit. Are we going to also have Atheist class?

Willful ignorance is believing a religious studies class is going to stop children from bullying others based on their religion instead of being a monumental waste of time and borderline illegal in American public schools (considering the fact that you can't cover every single religion practiced in the world).

Racist assholes in America are assholes to Sikhs because they assume that any brown person in a turban is Muslim. And that all Muslims are just waiting to become terrorists because omg jihad.

And that stops little, Wiccan children from being bullied because they're "evil", how? And that stops little, Hellenic reconstructionist kids from being bullied because their religion "dumb", how? And that stops little, LaVeyan Satanist children from being bullied because they're "Satan worshippers", how? And that…

It's not about lack of compassion, it's about fairness and legality.

You're also likely to encounter an atheist. So no. Try again.

Yes, so you teach that in history class.

You're not understanding my point here.

Um, no. We need a mandatory "Don't Act Like A Dick To Anybody Who Is Different From You" class.
